Barracuda TS Black

Sale price¥36,300

Based on sports shoes from the 1970s, these shoes have been reconstructed with a modern sensibility. The thick oil leather, tanned to the highest quality by a long-established tanner, recreates the look of leather from those days, creating a vintage look for your feet. The upper design is a black sneaker for adults, with attention paid to every detail, such as the pinking treatment on the toe and shoelace holes, and the turned-over hem of the opening, giving it a strong atmosphere of the time. Yet the side surface has a stripped-down design that eliminates unnecessary leather. It embodies blueover's brand philosophy of being "simple yet unique."

The last (foot shape) used is the men's shoe last (width E) used by marco. It combines the lightness of a sports shoe with the sophisticated and modern silhouette of a men's shoe. It is a versatile black sneaker that can be worn in a wide range of situations, from casual styles with denim or chinos to business casual with a jacket.

The manufacturing method is the McKay method, which makes it easy to replace the sole and reduces the rate of damage to shoes. Another attractive feature is that you can continue to wear your favorite black sneakers while repairing them so that you can enjoy them for a long time. As long as the McKay-sewn exterior inlay is intact, the sole can be replaced.

The soles are available in three types: EVA-treated sole, British Dainite sole, and tank sole, just like Marco. You can tailor your own black sneakers to suit your mood and style. The more you wear them, the more they will fit your feet and gain more character, making them a pair you will love for a long time. These are special black sneakers for adults who want high-quality leather and craftsmanship.

  • How to get the right size
    Blueover is designed with a loose forefoot. When wearing the shoes, make sure your heel is perfectly aligned and tie the laces tightly (to secure the instep). If you wear the shoes loosely, your feet will move around inside the shoes, resulting in an incorrect fit and making you more tired.
  • When choosing your shoe size, we recommend comparing your foot size. Measure your foot size from the tip of your longest toe to the back of your heel while standing.
    If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

    直営店にて店主の接客で購入。とにかく革の存在感がすごい。履いてみるとこれは全くもってスニーカーではないことがわかった。日頃はリーガルをメインに着用しているが、ドレスよりはアウトドア系短靴のような履き味。歩くにも革が厚く、なじむまで時間を要すると思われる。シルエットは革靴、履き味はブーツ、見た目はスニーカーという、なかなか癖のある面白い一足。
    となりにあったマルコというモデルと履き比べたが、こちらはスニーカーと革靴のミックスで履きやすい印象を持った。
    人は選ぶかもしれないが、カッコよさは抜群にあり、履き込みたい。

ABOUT " Barracuda TS Black "

Vintage Reimagined

The design is based on sports shoes seen in the 1970s. The jagged pinking, the balance between the toe and shoelace parts, and the collar have all been adjusted down to the millimeter. Yet the sides and heel area are kept as simple as possible, elevating the design to a modern one.

Beautiful Shape

The last (a wooden mold that mimics the shape of the foot) used is a men's shoe type. The assembly is also done in a men's shoe factory, so the shape is thoroughly blended into the last over time, bringing out the full potential of the last shape.

Vintage Oil Leather

The upper is made of thick oiled leather, a high-quality leather that gives off a vintage feel right from the start and develops a richer look the more you wear it.

Unique sole structure that maintains beauty

The sole is made by sewing a part called "Ainaka" to the upper body with McKay, and then pasting the sole unit. The adhesive cross section of this sole unit is shaped like a mortar, and the "Ainaka" is designed to fit into it. This means that even if you replace the sole multiple times, no traces will remain around the sole, and it will always maintain its beautiful appearance. Therefore, since the sole unit can be replaced many times, it is possible to continue wearing it for a long time.

Grippy tank sole

The outsole uses a tank sole with excellent grip. Despite its voluminous shape, the lightweight cushioning material makes it feel light even when walking.
